You want a nice wide-field EP; for finding objects, viewing the big objects and just scanning the milky way. Based on their reputation you couldn't beat the value of a 32mm or even 42mm GSO superview. That's what I would get.
Then most importantly you need a mid-size workhorse. 17mm was recommended to me and it is about perfect as a good balance of zoom and fitting most things into the view. I got a Baader hyperion and really like it, but I would probably have been just as happy with the equivalent GSO superview.
I also bought a second-hand Vixen LV 6mm planetary EP and that is fantastic for those rare occasions I can use that much zoom. Very rare occasions actually.
This range of magnification is just right and I think we made good choice. However, if I had to do it again, I would seriously consider a 42mm GSO superview for wide-field, and then a Baader zoom EP to get a wide spread of magnification (with the significant bonus of not having to change the EP). Easy!
